Prisoners Broke Jail.
For the fourth ti ne since wo have
been in t > wn , the prisoners in the
county jail last Friday night obtained
their liberty without due process of
law. The prisoners were Edmond
George and Andrew Christiansen , but
only the latter a tempted ( o escape.
As nearly as we can ascertain from the
lips of the various authorities the story
is this :
Sheriff Stiong had employed his
brother , Jack , to guard the prisoners ,
and gave him strict orders to not leave
them alone. Friday night a dance
was held in town , and Jack attended ,
locking the prisoners in the cage when
h > left. Christiansen had been em-i
ployed shoeing horses during the afternoon - i
noon , and secreted a file about his per
son , and as soon as the jailor left he-
attacked the fastenings of the cage.
Being a strong man he soon weakened
them so the } * were easily broken , and
the two found themselves in the big
room of the jail. Climbing to the top
of the cage it was but the work of a
few minutes to cut their way through
the ceiling and roof , with the aid of an
ax which was lying handily near. A
couple of hours after the escape was
effected George showed up at the dance
where the erstwhile jailor was -'hoeing
it down" and informed that worthy
that he was out of jail and that Chris
tiansen had'"flew his kite. " Investi
gation proved the truth of this statu-
ment.and Jack was then in a quandary
After studying the situation for a time
he arrived at this solution :
"The jail is busted , " said he to him
self , "and George evidently doesn't
want to escape or he wouldn't have
come to me. The music at the dance
is sweet , the girls are pretty and the
drinkables are good. Ergo : I'll let
George have his liberty for the rest of
the night and I'll go back to the dance. "
This was a happy thought , and was
sit oiice acted upon. George spent the
night "with his wife , " Jack danced
till the music stopped , and all this
time Christiansen was "making tracks , "
both figuiatively and literally , for the
south , hoping to reach friends at
Brownlee and thus escape When the
music stopped Jack went after the
sheriff and informed him of the night's
jccurrencies and then the storm of
Amos' wrath broke loose , but Ave'll
[ ) ass that. As soon as day broke ,
Deputy Sherman picked up the prison-
sr's trail in the snow and started in
ptu > > uit. .bor twenty-seven miles
through the sandhills the fugitive led
iiis pursuers and then he was captured ,
md all his hard work counted as naught.
Saturday night he once moie slept like
Eugene Aaram , "with gyves upon his-
ivrists. " and blisters on his feet.
